AI STARTUPS & VCs presented by Microsoft
Beyond the stages of Web Summit Rio, the conversations continue.
Welcome to AI Startups and VCs presented by Microsoft for Startups. This is the first of its kind in Rio.
A gathering for founders, investors, and builders shaping the future of technology and business.
The evening will feature a short welcome from the Microsoft for Startups team, followed by a conversation designed to go beyond the usual conference talking points. Leaders from across the startup and AI ecosystem will share practical lessons, real-world experiences, and honest perspectives on what it actually takes to build and scale AI-native companies today - from infrastructure and product decisions to distribution, partnerships, and navigating global growth from emerging markets. The goal is to bring valuable content to the room and forge conversations where founders, operators, and investors walk away from having learned something new before the evening opens up into networking and drinks. The idea is to curate a thoughtful group of people from across the ecosystem for a night of strong conversations, new connections, and fresh perspectives.
